In the winter of 2013, a new health challenge began to prepare
Jean—and her family and friends—for her earthly life’s end. Over the
next 8 years Pulmonary Fibrosis and the medications that treated her
lung condition, took their toll. Finally, unable to continue the fight, she
left this world and embarked on a new journey of discovery. But even at
her journey’s end, her thoughts were for her family, and her prayers
were not for herself, but for those she was leaving behind.
Jean’s life was, and will continue to be, a fine Christian example of faith
and humble trust, a source of hope for all. Her bright outlook and her
quick wit will be missed. Especially her loving and kind heart shown to
all who knew her. Through her living faith she was able to help many
people when they were facing difficulties in life. She was a lovely,
vivacious, smart, genuinely kind, caring and gracious person whose
upbeat and friendly nature endeared her to so many. We greatly loved
her.
The last several years of her life was painful and difficult, but she still
maintained a happy and pleasant attitude, accepting her limitations in
life with dignity and grace. This remarkable ability was because of her
steadfast faith in God and His amazing grace displayed through her. She
confidently looked forward to the next chapter in her eternal life, not
fearful of passing and meeting her Lord, Jesus, face to face. She set a
high standard for those of us coming along behind and will be greatly
missed.
She was a beautiful wife, mother, grandmother. Her passing leaves an
empty chair at the table that will always remain so. For 65 years she
shared her love and joy with every life she touched. And she will live on
in the wonderful memories she gave us.
Jean was carried home to heaven in the arms of Jesus on March 1, 2021.
God led her so gently through an 8-year journey through the valley of
pulmonary fibrosis. Jean trusted fully in Jesus for her salvation – and we
rejoice that she is now received perfect healing and at perfect peace with
her Savior!
In her eternal Easter, Jean was greeted in heaven by many who went
before her. Waiting here on earth for their heavenly reunion with her are
her loving husband of 44 years, Rev. Adam L. Scheblein, sons, Adam
W. (Sarah), Andrew (Hillary), beloved grandchildren, Lily, Callie,
William, Hannah, and Emma, 2 sisters, a father, other relatives and so
many brothers and sisters in Christ from New York, Florida, North
Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Romans 8:28 – “And we know that in all things God works for the
good of those who love Him, who have been called according to his
purpose.”
